Blog

A Blog is a website published on the world wide web that is composed of entries meant to inform or converse with the audience. Blogs can be written by a single individual or by a group of people and tend to focus on a single subject. Blog entries (or posts) are not limited by size and can contain several hundred words or as few as a couple hundred characters. A person who edits a blog site is referred to as a blogger(Still being developed)

History

Blogs were originally called weblogs, a term invented by John Barger in 1997, until Peter Merholz announced that he planned to pronounce the word as "wee-blog" in 1999, which was then shortened to "blog."[1] The use of blogs started off as limited due to the fact that knowledge of HTML [put link to wiki page] coding was required. This changed in 1999 when Pitas, a build-your-own-weblog tool, was launched.[2]
